Application filed'september. as, 1933. Serial no; 664,950.

Inour prior Patent #l,114,464, patented October 20th, 1914, wehave described and broadly cl-aimeda novel constructionlofa dyeing machine wherein theskeins are sup? ported on stic'ks which are carried by, stick supports which revolve'withina dye tub, provision being mad'efor therotation of the sticks" at the proper time and also [for efiectingrelative' adjustment between the inner and outer yarn stick supports.

' Our present invention relates to a machine of this general type but comprehends more particularly novel adjusting mechanism in order to elfect the desired adjustment 'between the outer and inner sticks 'so that skeins of diflerent lengths can be treated.

It further comprehends a novel and simplified construction of mechanismffor simultaneously adjusting the relation between the inner stick supports and the outer stick For the purpose of illustrating our invention, we have shown 1n the accompanying drawings a typical embodiment thereof which is at present preferred by us, since this embodiment will be found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results. It is, however, to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which our invention consists can be variously arranged and or-- ganlzed and that our invention 1s not l1m-- ited to the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described. 7

Figure 1 represents a vertical cross sec,- tional view of a dyeing machine, embodying our invention.

Figure 2 represents a section on line 22 of Figure '3.

Figure 3 represents "a sectionon line 3 -3 of Figure 2. r

Figure 4' represents a fragmentary detail of one of the spiders and certain of its ad juncts I 'Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts. I

Referringto the drawings.

4 designates a dye tub or vat which is adapted to contain the dye liquorv which is to be employed; A supporting shaft 5 is journalled in the bearing 6 and this shaft is adapted to be'rotated in any desired or 13 and the spider spokes.

The spiders are shown as carrying the features of construction and Figure 1. g It will now be understood that the yarn outer stick supports. I c

As the rod or shaft16 is connected to bothconventional manner. .7 designates spiders fixed to the shaft 5 and having their spokes which are in the form ofriiigs having apertureslO of any desired char'acterto receive formed, between the outer '8 connected to. the outer stick supports 9 usual guard rings 14. The yarn sticks are supported by the inner and outer yarn supports in any desired manner and the relative adjustment is effected by the construction and in the manner which will now-be explained. The hubs of the'spider 7 carry the brackets 15 secured to the spokes 8 in any desired manner and loosely mounted in these brackets is as haft or rod 16 to which is'fixed an operating or adjusting lever 17. This lever 17 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 18 into whichextends a pin' or boss 19 carried by the inner stick support 12 atone side of-the machine. The inner stick support at the opposite side of the maend'of the lever 17 preferably has a polygonal contour in order to adapt it to receive a detachable operating handle shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 at 25. We have represented a yarn skein diagrammatically at 26, see

sticks'are carriedby the inner and outer supports which form t a rotatable carrier" for them.

If it is desired to tighten "or loosen the skeins or in other words; to vary the distance between the inner and outer stick supports,

thiscan be efl'ected by applying the detachs5 outer end is provided with a pawl 23cwhich {engages the teeth of a rack 24 formed on the side of the outer stick support 9. The free able handle 25 to the lever 17 and thus eflect relative rotary adjustment of the inner and side of the machine are simultaneously ad:

justed.

In our present construct1on, We have overcome the necessity of employing'springs,

therefore believed to be unnecessary.

gears or similar rnetal parts which are liable to be, deleteriously affected by the" dye liquor.

The general operation of the dyeing machine will be understood by those skilled in this art by reference to our priorpatent to which We have hereinbefore referred and a detailed description of such operation is In the form illustrated one of the spiders is provided withia gear 27in order that the carrier may be driven by any desired source of poweri Having thus described our invention What we claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

' In dyeing machine, the combination with a dye tub of a shaft suitably journalled, spiders including guard'rings 14 and clips to said outer sticksupports.

carried by said shaftand adapted to revolve a 20 through said dye tub an outer sticksupport fixed to each spider, an inner stick sup.- port rotatably adjustable in said clips, a

said pawl whereby said inner supports can be fixed in the positionito which they have i been simultaneously adjusted with respect 'JOHN H'. GILES; Y
